The "early client detection mechanism" introduced with ("batman-adv: detect not yet announced clients") can be extended to find new clients by means of unicast_4addr packets.

The unicast_4addr packet contains as well as the broadcast packet (which is currently used in this mechanism) the address of the originating node and can therefore be used to install new entries in the Global Translation Table
